You can't write a book and not have a launch party!
Everything I've read about publishing says to treat the first six months of your book's life as a "pre-published" state. Especially if it's your first book. Use that time to get your social media i's dotted and all your editing/review request t's crossed. Then, six months after you've published your book, have a big ol' party to officially launch your book.
So - I'm looking at the weekend around August 11th, here in Montreal. I have a place to host it - at a gorgeous art studio. There's a troupe of drag-kings who could be interested in doing a pirate-themed number, as well as a few bands to keep the party going.
I'm thinking of hiring some gorgeous, buff mates to walk around semi-nude serving canapés.
There will be signed copies to win, and probably other prizes - and the sequel should be out at that point too.
What else can one have going at an Erotic Book Launch?
